Very early on Tuesday morning, Leah got dressed in a beautiful pink blouse and black Jean trousers. She looked elegant. Her outfit compliments her stature.
Mum, I'm set! she said.
Wow! Your outfit is topnotch, daughter, you look so adorable this morning. Mother said and smiled.
I took after your beauty Mum, thanks. Leah said while she bid her bye.
Bye daughter, Do have a pleasant day ahead. Mum said while she banged the door.
She rushed to the taxi rank to board the one heading to Victoria on Vancouver Island. A Google map on her phone assisted in locating Prince Robin’s mansion as stated on the calling card, but the gate was locked. She tapped the phone number of Prince Robin on her phone. It ranged for minutes, but there wasn't a response from his end.
Leah felt a little bit disappointed, but she refused to give up, so she leaned on the fence wall, anticipating him to return her call after seeing a series of missed calls.
Two (2) hours later, her phone rang, it was Prince Robin and calling back. She woke up, but the voice didn't sound like him. The person speaking sounded younger. She checked her screen to be sure she hadn't dialed the wrong number.
No! I didn't. These numbers are the same as those on the calling card. She became confused and banged the call instead.
She summoned courage to redial the number again, since she was sure of the digits.
Hello! Good Morning sir,
My name is Leah. I want to speak with Prince Robin.
He is busy! You can call back later or tell me all you need to say, so that I will reply to him. Richard said.
No sir! He actually booked an appointment with me, and I'm currently at the gate. She responded.
Alright, wait a minute, let me seek his consent. Richard said.
Richard went to meet his boss at the Balcony, where he was puffing a stick of “Du Maurier” and listening to “The Motto” sung by Drake featuring Lil Wayne.
Sir! A lady rang your phone a few minutes ago and claimed you had booked an appointment with her. He said to his boss.
Oh! Bull s**t! Who the hell wants to interrupt my nice moment (He maintained strong, direct eye contact with Richard)? Prince Robin's countenance changed as he asked him.
She said her name was Leah. Richard replied.
Now I remember! Probably, it was the lady I met at the Roxy bar yesterday. Let her in. He instructed.
Okay sir!
Richard went to open the gate and ordered her footsteps to the living room.
Wow! What a pleasant sight to behold. Beautiful artifacts, pleasurable upholstery, adorable wall paintings, a classical chandelier, Audible sound and fine curtains. Leah couldn't stop gazing at all the features in the living room, while she awaited the arrival of Prince Robin.
A few minutes later, Prince Robin majestically climbed down the stairs wearing brown knickers and a white crew neck polo, holding a scepter in his right hand. Leah adjusted her sitting position, when his footsteps became audible.
Good morning Sir
Leah stood up to greet him, looking at her toes.
Morning beautiful lady, I’m not surprised to see you early enough, your zeal to succeed through hard work can be perceived. I love that. Prince Robin said while he stretched forth his hand to give a handshake.
Thanks for the observation sir. She grinned.
The dark hours deprived me of the ability to properly see this lady for whom she is. Her Almond - shaped eyes covey a timeless allure, the sparkling blue eye color adds to her charm and fascinating visual expression, a subtle dimple graces her cheek when she smiles, she looks perfect with her curvy stature, her long curly hair that looks tempting to touch, but the icing on the cake still remains her confidence that made her top-notch among contemporaries.
I think it would be better if I made her my secretary instead of sending her offshore to traffic drugs. Let the guys do that. I need to keep this jewel closer to my heart. He introspect.
Sir, you aren't saying anything to me, you only gaze at me and smile, aren't I fit for the job? She asked in a subtle manner.
Oh! Never mind dear, I'm only lost in my thoughts. So tell me about yourself young lady? Prince Robin inquired.
My… my ...my (Leah stutters in fear) name is Leah Rhodes. I'm 22 years old, I attended Marlborough Elementary school and proceeded to Burnaby Central Secondary school where I obtained my High School Diploma. I decided to take a gap year to work and that is why you saw me at the Roxy bar last night.
Where are your parents? Do you live together with them? He further asked.
My Dad is late, but I currently live under the same roof as my mother, who resides in Burnaby. She answered.
What does she do for a living? He became more inquisitive.
She currently works as a Chef in a sushi garden. She replied.
Okay, I'm the CEO of Robin Agrium Inc. The company produces and distributes agricultural products, including fertilizer.
Can you write very well? Prince Robin asked
Yes sir, I write very well. Leah replied.
Anyway, even if you can't write to my satisfaction now, you will learn on the job and I will assist you to identify your errors when need be.
I’m currently in need of a secretary, who will give administrative support, communicate effectively with other staff and clients on my behalf, document preparation and meeting coordination. I believe you're fit for the job.
Yes sir! She affirmed.
Alright, you will get an email soon, your resumption date will be contained in it.
Noted sir! She said, nodding her head.
Richard! Richard!! Richard!!!
He called on his personal assistant, but he seemed to be far from their vicinity.
Sir! Richard eventually answered from a distant range.
You son of a b***h! Where were you been when you subjected my voice to a shout? Prince Robin said angrily.
I’m awfully sorry sir! I went to get your favorite drink down the street. Richard apologised
It's been over an hour since I sent you on that errand, but you chose your convenient time to get it done. That's very disrespectful of you. Never repeat this stupid act again. He warned.
Now go and get my briefcase from my room! I kept it on the left side of my bed. He instructed him.
Richard rushed to do as instructed.
Sir, this is it. He handed it over to his boss and exited the scene.
Leah was a little bit frightened by the way Prince Robin spoke to Richard.
Is this what I will be passing through working for this man? She asked herself.
Anyway, since others could survive it, mine will not be different. I will ensure I stick to his rules and perform any given task diligently. She introspect.
He unzipped the briefcase stacked with Canadian Dollars and gave her five hundred currency.
Have this for your transport fare, we will continue our discussion after your resumption. Prince Robin said while she took her leave.
He couldn't take his eyes off her. He stared at her rear and was satisfied with her walking steps that brought out her feminine features and long curly hair that touched her waist. This beautiful creature can't just be limited to an office, I will extend her duty to my room. I need her soft touch to massage my pot-belly. Her pink lips to be locked together with mine and to finally drill the hole between her legs on my bed. Prince Robin muttered words.
Richard! He called his Personal Assistant.
Sir! Richard responded.
Put a call across to the HR Manager, inform her to send an offer letter to this email tomorrow. The offer letter should clearly state her job role as a secretary to the organization. Prince Robin instructed
Noted sir! I will do as instructed. He affirmed.
Yeah! One more thing, ensure you put that favorite drink you bought for me inside the refrigerator. I will take it along with dinner. He further said,
Alright sir! I will do that. Richard said and went to execute everything.
Leah arrived home after covering some distance, her happiness knows no bounds. Apart from the job offer, she is now richer with Five Hundred Canadian Dollars, which can get her some stuff.
Emmanuel, her sibling, was the first to welcome her at the entrance while their mum was meditating in her room.
You're welcome sister. I learned you were going to see your new boss. He said hugging Leah.
Yes dear, I went to see him to find out my job role and familiarize myself with him. She responded.
The mother left her room for the living room, to also welcome her daughter and listen to her feedback.
Welcome, Darling, I’m happy you're back. I missed you. Mother said, placing Leah’s head on her chest.
I missed you too, miss. She replied, gazing at her mom's face with a pleasurable smile.
So what role were you offered in the company? Mother wants the full gist.
I was offered the role of a secretary in the organization, and I’m going to resume after I receive an offer letter via mail. The man also gave me five hundred Canadian Dollars and tagged it for transport fare. Leah said.
Wow! The man is a nice man, but you need to be careful not to overstep your boundaries. Mother advised.
Yes Mum! I perceived him to be, and I would do my best not to. She assured her mom.
